' FINGER RING Filed Oct. 2, 1954 INVENTOR ATI'ORNEY -ently be passed over a finger than in the case of Patented Dec. 4, 1934 means PATENT OFFICE FINGER RING Robert T. Dieges, New York, N. Y., assignor to Dieges & Clust, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application October 2,

Claims.

The invention relates to an improved construction of a finger ring; and it has for an object the provision of a flexible band portion located between the respective ends of rigid band sections extending in opposite directions from the usual base portion associated therewith.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a ring having the appearance of being composed, save for the base, substantially entirely of a chain to provide a pleasing and artistic effect, yet preserving an essentially rigid section over approximately one-half the ring diameter.

Still another object of the invention resides in the provision of a ring which may more conveniture may be worn, without danger of damage to base portion of the ring and carrying usually an the ring and/or wearer, while the latter is engaged in various sport activities, and is more comfortable, for example, during driving of an automobile in that it adapts itself readily to the different contacts with the steering wheel.

In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the invention, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the novel ring; and Fig. 2 an end view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the ring.

Referring to the drawing, designates a solid ornament or stone 11 which is supported and set therein in the usual manner. From this base 10 extend in opposite directions curved

band portions

12 and 13 which are arcuate and finished to the desired size to fit the finger of the wearer; but in the present instance these band portions do not extend for more than, say, one-half of the diameter of the ring and thus encircle only partly the finger of the wearer. The band portions, in accordance with the invention, are completed by an intermediate flexible or chain portion 14 which is shown, for example, as linked at its opposite ends to rigidly projecting

loops

15 and 16 extending outwardly from the respective terminals of the band portions.

of providing a more pleasing appearance to continue the chain portion, though as a rigid portion, substantially to the base. To this end, rigid link sections 1'? and 18 simulating a chain may be suitably fixed to the outer surfaces of the respective ring bands, as by soldering the same thereto, the outermost rigid link of a section being interlinked With the corresponding rigidly projecting loop at the end of a band portion. It is pre ferred, furthermore, to sink these rigid link portions of the chain within the corresponding band portions so that the upper surface of a rigid portion will be substantially flush with the upper surface of the band. This may be effected conven iently by providing each band portion with a groove, as the

respective grooves

19 and 20, extending substantially from the base to its free end and locating within these grooves the respective rigid chain portions, as by soldering the same in the grooves.

I claim: I

1. A finger ring, comprising a rigid base and rigid band portions extending in opposite directions therefrom to encircle partly a finger of the wearer, each band portion terminating in attachposite ends to the respective loops to complete the ring bands. I

3. A finger ring, comprising a rigid base and rigid band portions extending in opposite directions therefrom to encircle partly a finger of the wearer, each band portion terminating in a closed loop, a flexible chain interlinked at its opposite ends to the respective loops to complete the ring bands, and rigid link elements simulating a chain, fixed to the outer surfaces of the respective ring bands, interlinked with said loops and extending substantially to the base to give the eirect of a substantially complete chain extending to said base.

4. A finger ring, comprising a rigid base and rigid band portions extending in opposite directions therefrom approximately one-half the diameter of the ring to encircle partly a finger of the wearer, each band portion terminating in a closed loop, a flexible chain interlinked at its opposite ends to the respective loops to complete the ring bands, and rigid link elements simulatof the wearer, each band portion terminating in a closed loop at the outer end of their respective grooved portions, a flexible chain interlinked at its opposite ends to the respective loops to complete the ring bands, and rigid link sections simulating a chain, fitting the grooves and extending inwardly to said base from the said loops and with which they are respectively interlinked.
